Nah man. sorry but you cant. He was naturally gifted and with some exercices he improved his vert even more. If your not naturally gifted your body has a limit that it cant pass. Alot of athlets that train hard on their jump never get to that level. If it was actually possible, trust me more people in the NBA would have done it. For example Lebron, i dont think he can jump higher than he is jumping right now cuz his vert is at his limit.
